Help wanted for COVID Notification and Wellness Check by Bike

April 7, 2021

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) is looking for help in implementing a COVID Notification and Wellness Check for North Shore, Vancouver and Richmond residents where phone and email notification is not possible. People cycling would assist by printing a letter notifying the individual of their positive result, bring it to their door, and ask them a few questions, freeing up medical professional time. This is paid, casual, as-needed work. 

  • ​You would not enter their home or apartment. 
  • You would wear a mask and remain 2m apart from the person. 
  • You do not need to have a clinical background. 
  • You should carry hand sanitizer and clean your hands before returning to your bike. 
  • If you don't have a printer, you could arrange to pick up a copy at the nearest VCH clinic.

When handing over the letter, it is an important opportunity for a “wellness check” - a non-clinical assessment of how the individual is doing and asking if they have everything they need for their self-isolation period.
